Jake told me to tell everyone at the Ukulele Underground... "WAAASSSAAAPPP!" and to keep the ukulele spirit going!

Jake, my sons Shaun and David, my daughter Kristina and me after Jakes concert in Ft. Lauderdale, FL - 20Apr08

Plus - he gave a special shout out to Aldrine and Rayan! He told me to tell you guys to keep up the great work!

Aldrine Guerrero · Apr 21, 2008

Wow! Awesome! Keep up the spirit and UU pride!

He played quit a few songs (mostly from his older CD's) - but he also played a couple from the new CD like "In My Life", "Here, There and Everywhere" and "Ice Cream". To see him do "My Guitar Gently Weeps" on YouTube is awesome enough... but in person... OH MY GAWD! It was worth it just for that one song I tell yah! LOL

But the most amazing thing was he did an IMPROV with Futureman (Futureman and the Black Mozart Orchestra came out after). The improvisation that they did... was just indescribable. Needless to say - I was blown away.

If you have to travel to see his show... DO IT! You won't be disappointed!

Yup - that's my main team! Yomiuri Giants all the way!! My cousin sends me Yomiuri Giants stuff from Hokkaido every once in a while... even though he's a Hiroshima Carp fan. LOL

Thanks Seeso!

I tell yah - I got to see you performing with your group w/Bosko and Honey along with the rest of the incredible performances on Open Mic on Saturday Night - then the following night I got to see Jake in concert and meet him afterwards.

What an awesome weekend!

Seeso, if you see him after the show and think about it just tell him I said hello. We connected via email about 3 weeks ago as I was letting him know about an opportunity to do a house concert while in Florida on one of his off days. Enjoy the show.
